and it was a very telling incident did the president of the united states removes himself to copenhagen to bring home the chicago olympics. he removes himself to compensate for climate change. he removes himself to oslo to receive a prize. but he does not show up in berlin at the 20 it anniversary of an event of biblical proportions, one that i am sure most of this in the room would never have imagined we would ever see. that tells you how he sees the world and reinforces that quotation. i could use one of dozen, in which you can see his priorities. and to speak of the cold war as an arbitrary, and not to see how routed they were in the fundamental values of the united states and west, as cleavages and some obsolete conflict, it is simply staggering but it tells you a lot about his world view. i thought the berlin event was very telling, particularly as you say leaving -- leaving out the great leader's reagan, thatcher, but john paul, and others. gorbachev was a hapless caretaker. to his credit, he did not shoot people in the streets. and i give him credit, because you have to make a ch

and most recently the copenhagen climate change conference. which demonstrated spectacularly the factualist of structures, the lack of common purpose, common interest and governance. the internationalist institutions and paper agreements seems to leave no lasting impression. did we really learn nothing from the early 20th century experience with its repeated and doomed attempts to regulate the capital ships of the great powers through naval conferences? did we really learn nothing from the kellogg pact who's signatories incidentally included germany and japan? that abolished war forever. an absurdity that won the u.s. secretary of state frank kellogg the nobel peace prize of 1929. sound familiar? but at least kellogg got it for an actually signed useless treaty. [laughter] >> obama got it for the merely imagined useless treaties. most notably the one he has been insisting on from prague to new york on universal nuclear disarmament. the depth of obama's naive internationalism can be seen in his pursuit of this deeply unserious goal. the most dr
